True Life I'm Always Crying
Pretty Little Liars

I'm the member of the group that you can always find crying. Last time I cried? Probably 5 hours ago to be truthfully honest. My fish died that I had been mothering for 7 months and I was not emotionally ready to handle it. I get attached to things extremely easily. Even to a thing I just watch swim around back and fourth in a bowl for hours on end, how extremely boring right? But now that I have an empty fish bowl sitting on the counter, I realize how much I truly valued what little connection I had with a fish. I'm totally aware this sounds outrageous.

It's not that I go off and cry for attention. I just have a lot of feelings that I can't keep bottled up. The truth is I'm over emotional (at least I can admit it, right?). If you've never met me before I am truly sorry that this is your first impression of me. Dear future husband, I promise I'm not always a mess. To my future children, I'm sorry I will burden you with the genes of hella emotions.

Cute dog video? Someone dies on the tv show I'm currently binging on Netflix? Or a book that has an insane plot twist? I think about something totally irrelevant to life over the past few years? Yup. You guessed it, I'm crying about it. Wonderful right? Now just image how bad it can get over something that's actually worth being upset over. I literally cry all the time. All. The time. Now if tequila is involved you best bet I'm ending the night crying over Toppers pizza in my room, on the floor to be exact, watching How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.

Trust me, if there was a way to control this, it would be. But nothing makes it worse than when I'm starting to get emotional, someone asks what's wrong, then I get upset because others can see I'm 'I upset and also because now I'm trying to rationally explain why I'm choked up. I absolutely hate the attention that comes with it.

Just like those who never cry, I have enough tears to go around for all of us. So HOOORAAAAHHH to all of us dealing with our sh!t, in our own individual ways. Now, please, I have a fishes funeral to plan.



And now I'm crying about it.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
